T-Mobile USA eliminates data overage charges for some users

Here is some good news for HTC HD2 owners who have been enjoying Slacker radio and Pandora a bit too much.

Subscribers with a 5 GB per month webConnect plan will no longer be charged per megabyte overage fees, but will simply see their connection throttled. This should mean while entertainment use is limited, IM and email should work perfectly fine.

Subscribers on the 200 MB limit, who arguably need this much more, are unfortunately not as lucky, and will still have to pay overage, but at a lower rate of $0.10 per MB instead of $0.20, which can still add up pretty quickly.

For a limited time, T-Mobile is also offering discounts for new contracts or additional data lines on an existing contract.
